Created in 2018 as ADS Group’s lead subsidiary in charge of industrial development, Multi-Industries Group (MIG) is a pioneering company with a clear ambition: turning Africa into a global hub for the production of consumer goods and equipment. Starting with African markets, the company will ultimately become a supplier on a global level, with a special focus on emerging countries facing development challenges similar as those of Africa. At the origin of the project is one conviction: industrializing Africa is possible; industrializing Africa can be done relatively quickly provided that we, as Africans, give ourselves the means to do so; and finally, industrializing Africa can be a green and sustainable process if we decide to rely primarily on environmentally friendly processes, techniques and technologies.
As a result, and in order to lead by example, MIG has decided to take advantage of solar energy – to manufacture lighting solutions (streetlights and candelabras for public use) but also other innovative products, such as green mobility solutions (electric bicycles, tricycles, scooters and motorcycles). Other strategic consumer goods – computers and portable tablets – are also produced for the general public, businesses, organisations and public bodies, to support entrepreneurs and ambitious SMEs as well as the digitization of public services in Africa.
